Linking digital wayfaring and creative writing: true fictions from ethnographic fieldwork

In this article, I explore how creative writing links to mobile media ethnographic practices. Through my digital ethnographies, I have found empirical evidence that socialising, art-making, and wayfaring can and do occur simultaneously in online and offline worlds. The more than textual, more than representational, material and corporeal experiences, and everyday processes are important to how we imagine and theorise art-making practices with mobile media. In this article, I pose the question: How can fiction techniques be used as a method to expose links between digital wayfaring and the creative writing practices? I explore this question through three fictionalised vignettes based on material from my ethnographies. These are grounded in a discussion of non-representational theory as a theoretical perspective to situate the everyday creative practices that go into mobile media art projects involving creative writing.
